1 Safety instructions
Use in accordance with the regulations
The BN100A may be connected - instead of a strain
gauge‐based transducer and for the purpose of calibra
tion - only to measuring devices that work with a carrier
frequency of 225 Hz.
Use for any additional purpose shall be deemed to be not
in accordance with the regulations.
In the interests of safety, the instrument should only be
used as described in the Operating Manual. It is also es
sential to observe the appropriate legal and safety regula
tions for the application concerned during use. The same
applies to the use of accessories.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety in
structions
The BN100A corresponds to the state of the art and is
safe to operate. The instrument can give rise to residual
dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated by
untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with the installation, commissioning or
maintenance of the instrument must have read and un
derstood the Operating Manual and in particular the tech
nical safety instructions.
Conditions on site
Protect the device from direct contact with water (IP20).
It is safe to operate the unit up to an altitude of 2000 m.

Safety instructions
4A0643-6.1 HBM: public BN100A
Install the BN100A so that it can be disconnected from
the mains at any time without difficulty. Make sure that
the mains plug is accessible.
Maintenance and cleaning
The BN100A module is maintenance‐free. Please note
the following points when cleaning the housing:
- Before cleaning, disconnect the devices from the power
supply.
- Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!)
cloth. You should never use solvent, since this could
damage the labelling on the front panel and the display.
- When cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the
device or connections.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and list of components provided with
the BN100A cover only part of the scope of measurement
technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers
and operators should plan, implement and respond to the
safety engineering considerations of measurement tech
nology in such a way as to minimise residual dangers.
Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all times.
There must be reference to the residual dangers connec
ted with measurement technology.
Any risk of residual dangers when working with the
BN100A is pointed out in this manual by means of the
following symbols:
